As I've mentioned here before, I felt it was a thin year for works to
nominate. Looking at my bookshelves, most of the good stuff I bought this
year were (aside from the above) reprints of some of the good ole stuff
(Dunsany, Moorcock, Leiber).

Anyway, I've included two Sean Stewart works on this list. I highly
recommend him to any and all. It's been rightly said of his work that no
two books are the same. I was tempted to include a third on this list
(Cloud's End), but decided against it. Still, Cloud's End is probably the
most appropriate for the list -- Stewart stated that he wrote it as an
attempt to pay homage to Tolkien. Like all his stuff, it is well written
and enjoyable to read.
